The Koerner Office - Business Ideas and Deep Dives with Chris Koerner - We Turned Random Words Into $20K/Month Businesses Ideas⏐Ep. #244

Episode Date: November 7, 2025

Check out my newsletter at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://TKOPOD.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ...join my new community at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://TKOwners.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠━I sat down with Sam Thompson (⁠⁠https://x.com/ImSamThompson⁠⁠) again, and this time we tried something completely different. We used a random word generator to come up with totally random words and then challenged ourselves to turn each one into a real business idea that could make $20K a month. What started as a fun experiment turned into one of the most creative brainstorming sessions I’ve ever done.We came up with ideas like an Office-themed chess set, a blue-collar Stoicism community, and even a nightclub marketing agency called Full Lounge. We debated which ideas would actually work, which ones could scale, and how fast each could become profitable. Sam also shared why most people overcomplicate online businesses when simple local plays like garage cleanouts can hit $20K a month with just one person running them.We wrapped up talking about how important it is to start small, stay consistent, and focus on momentum instead of waiting for permission or the “perfect” idea.Enjoy! ---Watch this on YouTube instead here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tkopod.co/p-yt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ask me a question on or off the show here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tkopod.co/p-ask⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about me: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tkopod.co/p-cjk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn about my company: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tkopod.co/p-cof⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Twitter here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tkopod.co/p-x⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free weekly business ideas newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tkopod.co/p-nl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Share this podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tkopod.co/p-all⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Scrape small business data: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tkopod.co/p-os⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---

Starting point is 00:00:00 If Mr. Beas can do this with video ideas, you and or I can do this with business ideas. Right. It's too demoralizing to sell something for 40 bucks a month. You're like, all right, 200 more of these. Right. It's tough. Versus like the garage cleanout guy. If he's charging 700 bucks, it's like, all right, he needs to do one garage clean out a day.
Starting point is 00:00:19 And he's chilling. He's making 21. Anyone can go and do that. You're working six hours a day. You're making $20,000 bucks a month. Someone go make your $20,000 a month. I promise you can't. All right. I just had Sam on the podcast again. It was a banger. We had a blast. So we turned around and did another one. I actually used a random word generator to generate two to three words so we could come up with business ideas around those words that anyone could start. And we had a lot of fun. Please enjoy. This is going to be so fun. I've always wanted to do this. I've never done this. If Mr. Bees can do this with video ideas, you and or I can do this with business ideas. All right. Random war generator. Cool. Let's say three words. More words harder it gets, right?
Starting point is 00:01:03 Cool. Word type all. We're going to use these three random words to come up with a business idea that someone could use to make $20,000 a month, net profit. All right, I bet, dude. I'm in. Okay. You ready?
Starting point is 00:01:13 Let's go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is not edited. Mahomet is not involved. No, we're in. Here we go. Vague office pawn. Vague.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Okay, I got an idea. There it is. There it is. We're going to make a chess set that's deemed of the office. Yeah. That's it. That's it. You're going to have like the king is Michael Scott.
Starting point is 00:01:32 The queen is James. And oh my gosh, I thought it had like a millisecond. Game over. What's vague about it? What's vague about it? Maybe there's like a golden ticket reward in there where you could win like an autograph piece of memorabilia from the set. One in a thousand chess kits. A golden ticket.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Golden ticket. Yeah. Charlie Kernan over here, dude. Let's go. Yeah. All right. Sorry. I jumped the gun.
Starting point is 00:01:55 No, that's okay. I'm with it. I like that one the most. I was going chess, but I was going e-book. Okay. Oh, chess. I like sell it all day. Bro, that's a valuable audience.
Starting point is 00:02:05 100%. Oh my gosh. It's so funny. Well, how do we get to 20K month though? I mean, this is just going to be a Facebook ad. It's just Facebook ad straight up, dude. And then the thing that I like it, I want a recurring on the back. And so it's like, anyone that buys that is a very specific group of people.
Starting point is 00:02:23 And so it's like, cool, launch a little paid Facebook community for it and be like, yep, these are office lovers that love chess. This is your people. Like, come hang out. learn chess do your thing. Oh, dude. You have cameos from the people in there.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Who's the guy that's on cameo? He does so many of them. Yeah, Brian Baumgardner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Imagine you just pay him to give chest tips. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:47 You just on cameo. Like idiotic chest tips. Yeah, dude, he's just like explaining different moves and stuff. That'd be a phenomenal ad. Are you kidding, dude? That would be just immediate face recognition.
Starting point is 00:03:00 So good. So good. good. Why don't you describe what happened with that for those that haven't seen that? Yeah. So Ramp, I don't know if they did like a launch or if it was just like a random ad campaign, but they put him in like a glass office box somewhere. And he just like sat there for like eight hours messing around in the office all promoting ramp. So cool. What do you think he got paid for that? Can't have been that much, right? I put it at like a hundred. That much. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Like I don't think he got paid millions. I also don't think he got like.
Starting point is 00:03:32 10 grand okay i was thinking closer to 10 grand really i don't know what his cameos go for and it's like travel and like you know like media rights and you know like all of that sort of stuff like i'd put it closer to 100 i'm looking up his cameo cost 10095 bucks for personal video for like what that's like a minute average video length minute 22 that's good living man that tracks dude he has he has 6 000 reviews which means he surely had tens of thousands of customers. Yeah, he's good. I heard he's the highest paid cameo actor. I heard the same.
Starting point is 00:04:09 That's crazy. You just pop on there. Dude, 200 bucks in ad creative. You're like, dude, teach them about this chess movie. You just give him an outline.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Like, it would be so funny. I mean, that one's a little costly because we're going to have to. You got inventory. You got ads. You got like you got to start any econ business getting to 20K a month. You got to be moving units.
Starting point is 00:04:30 In profit, you got to move units. We can make a digital chess version. Why not? Bro, a hundred percent. Like an iPhone app that you play with your friends. Yes. Right? Vibe code.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Yes. Dude, 100%. That's the interesting part now is like with the vibe code stuff, you really can go launch these little micro SaaS products pretty easily. I think the challenge will be that they will like come and go. Right. Like I think that you can like blow one up, but like the barrier to entry is getting lower.
Starting point is 00:04:58 And so it's like a little bit more challenging to like turn that into something that's like truly sustainable. I think a lot of people think that they can go and do that to like set and forget. They're like, I'm going to get this thing to 20. I'm guilty of that. I'll get it to 20 and it'll just like exist in perpetuity. That'll never be the case. It's like the thing will require more and more and more and more to just continue to grow. Always.
Starting point is 00:05:22 And so I always anyone that pops on calls me and it's like, I want to watch this, this and this. And then I'll just like have this passive portfolio. of like three apps that I can just go F off and do whatever. And I'm like, dude, like if it was that easy, everyone is going to compete with you. And so like you have to continue to get better. And so I just try to figure out like that kind of balance. I think going back to the original prompt of like quarter million dollar of your businesses. And I think the the one additional side of the box that I want to add to it is one person.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Right. Like if you don't want any employees, you want to make a quarter million dollars a year. Like, where do you live? Like, where do you, what do you want to do? The main stuff. So like, let's think boxes, right? So like there's there's two two boxes. One is digital broad stroke box.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Right. You're talking everything from software to ecom to I'd even give like agency, right, freelancer like that sort of world. And then you have physical, which is much more local like pressure washing or stump grinding or any of those sort of things. And so a lot of that comes down to like personal preference and skill level, right? Like if you're a dad of three kids in Dallas, Texas and like friends with a bunch of people and have a really good local community, like be pretty easy to launch a service business
Starting point is 00:06:45 kind of around just your area, right? Yeah. Like I do car washing on the weekends or, you know, the one that, it's funny. The one that I saw that was super interesting was garage cleanouts. Have you seen? I saw that on Twitter. Yeah, Gary V talking about that. The guy that got scared by Gary V.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Yeah. Yeah. And I was like, that's awesome. I think that the other guy that does the custom garage storage that you interviewed. And so there's a bunch like if you, if you want it to be like super heavy cash flow quickly at service. Right. Like the issue with ecom on the digital side or even with software is like you have to actually
Starting point is 00:07:18 really good at customer acquisition if you're charging $8 a month for something. Because to get to 20, let's just say easy. EMath again, like say you're charging 10 bucks a month to get the 20K, you have to be able to acquire 2,000 customers, right? Which generally, unless you have a big audience or have the intention of going and building one, which just will take time, you're generally looking at an ads game, which on an $8, $10 a month subscription, have fun losing money for your first year because you're just, you're probably not going to get the cact where you want it to be. And so the space that I really like, and I think more people should kind of try to live in is like that $500 to $1,000 a month per customer world.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Because it's meaningful enough from a dollar amount that like you could get to $20 pretty quick. Right. It's too demoralizing to sell something for $40 a month. You're like, all right, 200 more of these. Right. It's tough versus like, you know, the garage clean out guy. Like if he's charging $700. bucks 700 bucks it's like all right he needs to do one garage clean out a day and he's making yeah he's
Starting point is 00:08:28 chilling he's making 21 right and it's like I'm on the pod that's go that's awesome and it's like anyone can go and do that like literally I could wake up tomorrow and be like dude F everything that I'm doing like I'm just going to clean garages out for four hours a day and like vibe like I'm going to make my money. I'm going to like, I'll work for four hours in the garage. I'll answer emails and do lead gen activities for an hour or two hours. Like you're working six hours a day. You're making $20,000 a month.
Starting point is 00:09:03 It's like very simple living. And you have the option to go and expand that. Sure. Like, hey, my, my, my cousin wants to get in on this. He hates his job. Like,
Starting point is 00:09:12 I'll pay him $400 a garage clean out whenever I have overages and like, right? like stair step your way up. And I think people just like really get caught in this like, I want to build a sass or like one of these things. Because there's way more upside, obviously. If you're going to go through the pain of entrepreneurship, it's really easy to try to like create this reward for yourself, which is like multi million dollar cars and yachts and houses. And I was super guilty of that of like, this sucks. And so like I need to put a Lamborghini on the finish line here to like help me get through the pain of it. but it's also like you could also just go make a quarter million dollars in any location that has
Starting point is 00:09:53 like a reasonable population on little stuff like that that garage business is recurring too because that garage isn't going to stay clean forever like a yearly spring clean out literally dude let me uh connect can we do the word generator again 100% let's add a little variable okay okay let's do this so let's uh i'm gonna share my screen i'm gonna go to random word generator dot com, which is a great.com. It's a great.com because they made it a great.com, right? Most people look at that and they're like, oh, three words, 15, 15 letters. Like, how are you going to monetize that?
Starting point is 00:10:28 Well, he is. He's doing great. Let's do this. Let's both come up with an idea. It doesn't have to be first to the idea wins. Let's both come up with an idea. And then I'm going to open Claude, Chachapiti, whatever. And I'm going to give it no context and say objectively, which idea is better and why.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Okay. we have to use all three of these. Yeah, you have to incorporate each of those three words. All right. Let's try it. Okay, here we go. And we are not going to edit this. We're not going to remove the time.
Starting point is 00:10:56 That's fine. You have to trust us. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. You ready? You ready. You got that latency delay.
Starting point is 00:11:03 I got a 0.2 second edge on you here. Yeah, I'm ready to go. All right. Here we go. Philosophy, acceptable, steel. Oh, man. Steel's tough, dude. I could have definitely gone.
Starting point is 00:11:15 deep on philosophy acceptable all the way through. Acceptable. I got an idea. Go. It's going to be like a community, kind of like Ryan Holiday's Stoics community. Yep. Of like blue collar. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:31 That's where I was going. 34 year old dudes that work in steel manufacturing, whatever. And it's going to be like around philosophy. It's going to be like Marcus Aurelius, like Socrates and all that. Yeah. It's going to be dudes like us that wouldn't normally care about philosophy, but that do. It's going to be a community, just like the stoicism community and now acceptable. How do you work acceptable into it? That's how society views these guys. That's the chip on your shoulder marketing angle where it's like no one respect. The world thinks you're an idiot. Yeah. Oh, what what's the adjective for you? Joe Blow working in a steel meal in Philadelphia?
Starting point is 00:12:11 Acceptable. Yeah, Joe's acceptable. No. No. Joe. Joe. knows Socrates. Joe's stoic. Joe is more refined than acceptable. He's better than acceptable. For $79 a month, you can join another community. You can join this community of other quote unquote acceptable. And that will be like the t-shirt. Yeah. Acceptable. Like kind of like a I am accepted or like a yeah. They're like I don't know. What do you think? I'm not going to be able to beat that. You know, come on. Like well, the moment you started talking, I was like, Oh, yeah, that's what we're rolling across the board. I was like, oh.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Then you stop thinking for yourself, right? Yeah, 100%. Yeah, that's like the one that makes the most sense here. Objectively, you're better at this than me. The third word makes it hard, dude. And maybe I'm saying that as a cop out, but like the third is like, dude, philosophy and acceptable, I'm in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Steal? I'm also in such an e-book brain that I'm like, I just write a book about it. Yeah, like, why not? Just write a book. Like, yeah. Blue collar stoics. How to find peace in your blue collar career. I like that.
Starting point is 00:13:28 How to find meaning while you're stringing railroads or whatever, you know, like whatever they do. I don't know what we're talking about. No idea. But I don't know anything about divorce and I can still make money on it. So like, hey, that's right. Like, I bet you. I could sell blue collar stuff. I fixed thousands of iPhones and I hated every single one of them.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Yeah. But that's okay. Yeah. But you know what, dude? I accept you. Oh, thank you. I accept you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:13:56 You know, that's an acceptable. You are enough. You are. That's, dude, there's a couple of signs around here, billboards. You are enough. Only in LA. You know, dude. You know what?
Starting point is 00:14:07 You know what? You know what, Sam? I reject that notion that you are enough. Okay. I'm going to take the opposite side of that. You're not enough. You're not there yet. I'm not enough.
Starting point is 00:14:17 You're not enough. We're still working on it. We're working progress. Always. Get me a T-shirt that says you are enough with a line through it that says work in progress. How about that? Never done. And you're accepted at the same time.
Starting point is 00:14:29 That's the nuance. Absolutely. We love you how you are, but that doesn't lead to complacency. Dude. Like just like one of the leaders in my church said, he says, come as you are, but don't expect to stay as you are. Yes. How about that? Love.
Starting point is 00:14:43 That's sick. You got to write a book. he has he has that's awesome any other like fun growth hacks or crazy stories any hummingbirds dude our your hummingbird video it's got 240 000 views dude yeah it's great dude it's because i broke down what like it's selling sugar dude like it's not how many conversations have you and i had like that that's just another oh it's funny i'll talk to people and they'll be like i saw you on the kernan i was like dude you should see our text threats i like these pods started just because we would sit in the office and talk this exact same way. Like there was no. They're like, do you guys plan it? No.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Like no. This episode, full transparency was the most planned thing ever. And it was literally. Yeah, I was going to say it was literally three minutes before it started. Yeah. It's like what do we talk about all this? Cool. Which I don't know if I've done a great job of holding to by the way. But if we can make it works. Hey, Mohammed fix that in post. Fix it in post. Make this so funny. I've been thinking more about that macro. trend. Like I think getting people to take action, lower the bar of success, make things simple. And just doing it, I think is is a win. Like it's the moment you make your first dollar for yourself, you will feel it here. So don't delay that anymore. You could go sell something on Facebook marketplace and be like, wait a second. I just flipped this thing that spent, I spent $100 on and I sold it for 140. And you just start to like rewire that side of it. And then the other piece of it, which is funny. It's like, I tell people like, we'll talk and it's, you get paid for
Starting point is 00:16:18 shiny object syndrome, right? Like, you get paid to run this show and talk about all of these, like, fun, new things and all of it, which is awesome. And behind every shiny object to make it meaningful is an absolute metric bleep ton of work. And when you hit that work, don't stop working. Don't switch to the next shiny object that's fun for that first two weeks because it'll end up turning into work if it's working. Double down, keep running at it. I think it's more valuable to hear than like, here's how I set up my ad account to like drop my CPL by 6%. Right? Like most people don't even get to the spot where they get to have that conversation.
Starting point is 00:17:03 With that said, shiny object number 72 is a local. local newsletters, dude. Because of, like, if you're stuck, you don't know. Yeah. If you don't know what to do right now and you're like, I want to do something, but I don't know what to sell or whatever.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Yeah. Start with audience. I tweeted it the other day. I was like, there's no doubt in my mind that almost every business on the planet can start as some form of a media company, whether that's a blog, a newsletter, a TikTok account. any of those things. So it's like if you don't know what to do, I promise that you can make money in any industry ever. What do you like? Yeah. You love cars. Cool. Just start talking about cars.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Do a newsletter on cars. Yep. Like just talk about that thing that you love, meet people that are also interested in that thing. And then sometime you'll be like, oh my goodness, I just saw an ad for a tint shop locally. What if I sold these leads to tint shops? And you'd be like, well, I'll run ads for, right? Like, let's try. Whatever that thing is, right? And so it's like, if you don't have something that you feel super passionate about from a,
Starting point is 00:18:20 from a business perspective, if you're like, yeah, just like garage cleaning sounds interesting, pressure washing sounds interesting, like anything local, like that's kind of like as a human where I'd rather rather be and like what I'd rather do is work with my hands and like be hands on in the community and all of that. So we started a local newsletter. Lauren and I have ours. We're at 3,200 subs. One, people hit us up asking for to promote their stuff,
Starting point is 00:18:46 which like, I'm not really trying to monetize it like that. So I'll just promote them for free. Like if they hit me up, like this lady was like, my cousin runs the dry cleaner. Can you shout them out? It's like, yeah, sure. Like, we'll do it. But the moment that I'm like,
Starting point is 00:18:59 you should see all the domains I own now where I'm like, I own South Bay Carpetcleaning.com. I own South Bay Bookkeeping.com. I don't, right? Like a bunch of these things are I was like, wait a second. Like, dude, I could go and turn on anything that I want on the back of that. And it's just because I have that asset. And I think more people should just start to have an asset. And that's so easy, bro. Like my TikToks are literally like, are you on TikTok? I started posting TikToks on on the newsletter page like last week. It's not like 100 followers. It's super easy. It's B-roll of the ocean and me being like the 10 best bars in Hermosa. And it's just like listing them out. I got 100 followers. Like, and I'm getting follows from all the restaurants, right?
Starting point is 00:19:40 Like there's realtors that are following. And like all of a sudden, yeah, all of a sudden, you're like, wait a second. Like there's movement. There's progress. There's like you're starting to feel that. And it's building this asset that you can use to go launch literally anything. Like, and I've had that thought. I was like, what are the cheapest things?
Starting point is 00:19:55 I can go buy pressure washer. Why would I not go promote that? Like, and just see. Let me get this idea out. Go. Go. When you said South Bay carpetcleaning.com. Dude, what are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:20:08 Why doesn't someone go build an agent that scrapes, not scrapes, but just looks up every city name in America by population and then every home service industry by commonality. And then looks up, you know, New York City dentist taken, New York City chiropractor taken and just goes down the line and starts buying up all the domain names that are not taken. And you're going to find pretty soon you own Chicago landscaping.com. Who would have thought that's available? But how many people have bots that are looking for that? And then, but you're also going to own like buck crack, Texas, you know, wood floor cleaning. com, which is like, it's worthless. But you could set up parameters where it's like if it's over X characters, don't buy it.
Starting point is 00:20:50 If it's over X syllables, don't buy it. If the city population is under 100,000 people, don't buy it. Like, what are we talking about? You could sell access to that. I have a handful that I own that are those. I bet you do. Yeah. I've got a couple pride and joys, dude.
Starting point is 00:21:02 I have higher Los Angeles.com and higher. or New York.com. And so it would be like job boards for big GOs. I think super interesting idea. And you just sell the leads is the nice part. You don't have to go launch it. Like I know a guy that has a carpet cleaning business here. Like the plan is not for me to go clean dudes carpets.
Starting point is 00:21:19 The plan is for me to be like, hey, I charge this guy 800 bucks. You know, Jim. I know you charge 600. Dude, can I tell you a domain name I have my eye on that's ridiculously expensive? Yeah. It's for sale. It's a premium domain name. Dot com.
Starting point is 00:21:35 $250,000. I offered $150, they said no. I offered $170. They said no. They basically said, we know what we have. Tell me that's not a good name. High ticket course. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:45 How many AI consultants? And then when I say consulting, I mean, implementation and automation agencies, right? Yeah, 100%. Oh, dude. 100%. That's a good one. It's just built in. It's just built in.
Starting point is 00:21:56 It's just so, it's just so there. It's relevance. It's title wave. It's the same with pay per call. Right? I was like pay per call. all dot i like this is what we do it's straight up and it's like it's a win dude it's a hedge on the future and that's what it's going to be i mean you see what's that dude's name from he was like morning
Starting point is 00:22:17 brewer or whatever Alex uh yeah yeah or whatever and it's like McKinsey for AI what he's doing i'm using one domain for that divorce thing but dot com is for sale for like 10 grand oh that's good that pay for itself in one lead i mean it could I know. I know. That's international lawyers was 10 grand. Yep. It's just so much opportunity out there.
Starting point is 00:22:43 It's dude. And that's the issue. But then every single opportunity turns into a metric F load of work on the back. I know. I know. I know. I already have seven of those. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Like I have seven metrics tons on my back already. Yeah. So it's like somebody should do it. Yeah. Always my somebody should do it. go make you it someone will it's a matter of time someone go someone go make your 20 grand a month dude i promise you can dude let's close it out with this yep i want to do one more random word i knew dude i knew you're about to do that and i was like dude another one of these things
Starting point is 00:23:20 you're showing off at this point no no no no i want to change it so i'm not i'm going to set a 30 second timer i have it two words six letters or less yep okay and we're not going to say a word for 30 30 seconds. Okay. You ready? So I can't, we can't ruin it. I'm going to click it right now. I don't have a timer, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:40 I got it. I'm going to switch over to a timer screen. Okay. All right, here we go. Lounge full. Play. I got an idea. I feel like we're thinking like the same thing.
Starting point is 00:23:54 It's only one way to find out. Should we stop it early? I mean, seven seconds. Yeah, I've got mine. I know, I know what I'm launching, dude. I'm launching a night club specific marketing agency. Full lounge, baby. You're full lounge.
Starting point is 00:24:09 We're making sure the whole thing. That's good. Full lounge. Oh, that's the. So dude, sometimes the idea is the name for right. Sure. This is a perfect example.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Like, you're not, we're not reinventing the wheel. There's a marketing agency. There's a million amount out there. But the name makes the idea. That is what unlimited content was. I saw that domain for sale and I was like,
Starting point is 00:24:29 dude, an SEO agency that's super focused on a content side. And then we bought it and launched it and here we are. It is the name, dude. Your idea wins. Your idea wins. So my idea is not even thought out yet. But I was thinking of airport lounges.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Like an airport lounge, an app or a directory where you could like, because sometimes lounges are full. Like airport lounges are full. I've got a card. I've got access. And it's full. Right. So maybe it's like it only shows you ones that are not full. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:00 So that you don't leave to go to the airport two hours early so you can sit. lounge if you can't get in anyways or maybe because there's all kind like there's american airlines there's delta there's like yeah non airline owned lounges maybe it aggregates all of them and for like a ridiculous price yeah maybe like pay per access instead of like a monthly fee instead of having to have an amex platinum or whatever it's just like a i feel like there is an app similar to that it's kind of like i had a canceled flight i got seven hours in this airport i'll pay two hundred dollars to chill in a lounge I did have the American Airlines one. I spent eight hours in one in the Admiral's club.
Starting point is 00:25:36 And I was like, thank God they had a shower, dude. Let's prompt this out. Okay. I'm going to log into Claude because it doesn't know me as well as Chad GPT. I don't want it to be biased. Come on. Yeah. I mean, I'm not going to tell it who's like rigging the game, dude.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I know, right. Hold on. I'm logging in. I just refresh my cash. So all right. I'm going to share my screen. Okay. And you're going to approve this prompt before I hit enter.
Starting point is 00:26:01 I'm telling you right now, I'm hedging my bets, your idea is better. Here's what Claude thinks. I agree. Grade these two biz ideas from one to ten, okay? One, an app that allows you to buy one-time access to airport lounges, to a marketing agency that specializes in bars and nightclubs. Yeah. And keeping them full and busy. And the unique, unique selling proposal of the agency is the name. What was it? Full lounge. Full lounge. As in full lounge.com. Could I prompt that any differently?
Starting point is 00:26:58 Not you're chilling. I kind of feel like it's going to vote for me because it's going to vote for me because it's going to think that mine's more unique. Yeah. Well, and that's, that's what I was about to say is like, what's the parameter, right? So like based on it being likely to work. Like, yeah, I'm down with that. So you have a success parameter. You have a speed to cash flow parameter. You have an ease of marketing or like cost of acquisition parameter. Right. Like there's all these variables to consider. But like, you could have a much bigger business on one on yours. Right. But like, it would cost. It's hard.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Yeah. And you'd have to spend a lot of money on marketing and partnerships with all the lounge. Like it would be hard. Right. But like you could make it huge or you could just go stack 20 grand a month like with 20 restaurant nightclub. Yep. Clients that pay you a thousand bucks a month.
Starting point is 00:27:50 So grade these two business ideas from one to 10 based on which is most likely to get to profitability fast for the lowest relative of amount of time, money and effort. Yeah. Good? Yep. All right. All right, Claude. What you got for us?
Starting point is 00:28:05 Analyzing Airport Lounge app market saturation. Oh, yeah, there you go. Oh, it's called Lounge, buddy. Lounge buddy, dude. Lounge buddy, dude. That's the app that I was thinking of. It's Lounge Buddy. You win.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Look at this. I get a three out of 10. You get an eight out of 10. You can start today with a laptop at a phone. First client, immediate profitability. Bars desperately need foot traffic. Can improve R.I. Domain name is clever and memorable.
Starting point is 00:28:31 marketing niche specialization makes you expert versus generalist agencies can land first client in one to two weeks if you hustle yes and mine just says significant upper capital partnerships extremely competitive long sales cycle which all those are true margin all of it dude that was fun that hey mohammed since i lost this one edit this last one yeah right dude where can we find you sam on twitter at i'm sam thompson all right what'd you think please share it with a friend and we'll see you next time on the kernar office
